Class Features
All of the following are class features of the cryomancer.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Cryomancers are proficient with all simple weapons plus 1 additional weapon of their choice. Cryomancers are also proficient with light and medium armor. They are not proficient with shields.
Frost Bolt (Su): As a standard action a cryomancer can produce a bolt of pure cold energy or solid ice. The frost bolt deals up to the amount of damage listed on Table X-X: Cryomancer and requires a ranged attack roll to hit. The frost bolt possesses a range of 100 feet + 10 feet per cryomancer class level. When the frost bolt is used to produce ice the damage it deals is bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage—chosen each time the frost bolt is used—.
When a frost bolt is used to deliver the effect of a cryomancer power such as the Frostbite power the cryomancer may choose to not deal the frost bolt's normal cold, bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. Frost bolt is useable at-will.
Cryomancer Essences: Cryomancer essences determine how many times a cryomancer can use some of their powers each day. Some cryomancer powers and feats require the temporary expenditure of cryomancer essences in order to activate their effects. Cryomancer essences spent to activate a power or feat are restored after 8 hours of uninterrupted rest.
Cryomancer Powers: Every cryomancer has access to a selection of powers that they can learn at the indicated levels (see Table X-X: Cryomancer). These powers are supernatural and extraordinary abilities. Some of the powers that a cryomancer can learn possess a claim cost, selecting one of these powers permanently reduces the cryomancer's available cryomancer essences by the amount listed in the cryomancer powers description. Other cryomancer abilities possess an activation cost, this is the amount of cryomancer essences that must be temporarily spent in-order to activate the power. Temporarily spent cryomancer essences are completely restored after 8 hours of uninterrupted rest. When a cryomancer power allows a saving throw the DC is 10 + 1/2 Cryomancer Class Level + Constitution modifier, the type of save will be listed in the cryomancer power description.
Cold Resistance (Ex): At first level a cryomancer gains cold resistance 10, this resistance increases at 4th level to cold resistance 20, and at 8th level to cold resistance 30.
Snow Vision (Ex): A cryomancer can see perfectly well in snowy conditions. A cryomancer does not suffer any penalties to Perception checks while in snow or snow storm-like conditions.
Snow Strider (Su): The cryomancer can travel over snow, ice, and slush at their normal land speed without penalty, the cryomancer walks on-top of this material and leaves no tracks in their passing. The cryomancer does not need to make Acrobatics checks to run or charge on these substances. Snow strider does not grant the cryomancer additional movement modes such as a climb speed. Snow strider may be suppressed and activated at-will as a free action.
Cryomancer's Insight, Lesser (Su): The cryomancer can completely bypass the cold resistance of creatures and objects. Additionally, creatures immune to cold take 50% damage from the cryomancer's cold based attacks. This is a continues use ability that may be suppressed and activated at-will as a free action.
Ice Walking (Su): This ability functions like the spider climb spell, but the surfaces that the cryomancer climbs must be icy. The cryomancer can move across icy surfaces without penalty and does not need to make Acrobatics checks to run or charge on ice. This is a continues use ability that may be suppressed and activated at-will as a free action.
Cold Immunity (Ex): The cryomancer gains immunity to cold.
Cryomancer's Insight (Su): The cryomancer can completely bypass all cold resistance and immunities of creatures and objects. Additionally, creatures and objects that are capable of absorbing cold energy are unable to absorb the cryomancers cold effects.
Cold Subtype (Ex): The cryomancer gains the cold subtype, this grants them immunity to cold—if they do not already possess it—and makes them vulnerable to fire. Vulnerability to fire means that the cryomancer takes +50% again as much damage from fire damage regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed or a successful save is made against the effect.
Cold Aura (Su): An aura of cold radiates outward from the cryomancer's body. All creatures within 5 ft. of the cryomancer take 1d6 points of cold damage at the beginning of the cryomancer's turn. This is a continues use ability that may be suppressed and activated at-will as a free action.
Cryomancer: At 20th level the cryomancer gains cold absorption. This grants them the ability to be healed by cold energy. For every 1 point of cold damage that the cryomancer would normally take if they were not immune to cold they heal 1 point of damage instead. In addition to cold absorption the cryomancer chooses one of the following special abilities:
Master Cryomancer (Ex): The cryomancer gains a +1 bonus to damage for each damage dice possessed by an ability with the cold or ice subtypes and all abilities that possesses the cold or ice subtype increase their save DC by +2.
Elemental Transformation (Ex): The cryomancer has undergone a transformation into an elemental being and gains the following abilities:
Darkvision 60 ft.
Immunity to bleed, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning.
Gain the cold subtype.
Not subject to critical hits or flanking. Does not take additional damage from precision-based attacks, such as sneak attack.
The cryomancer does not need to breathe, eat, or sleep by can do so if they desire.
The cryomancer no longer ages or risks dieing of old age. They cannot be magically aged and they do not suffer any penalties for their age, however, any penalties related to age that have already taken effect remain. Age bonuses still accrue normally.

This effect may be applied to the cryomancer's frost lance without increasing the time required to activate the frost lance.
Cryomancer Class Level: 1+
Activation Cost: 1 cryomancer essences

Wall of Ice [Supernatural]

Each 10 ft. section of the wall of ice possesses a hardness of 1 and 3 hit points per inch of thickness, when the hit points drop to 0 that section is destroyed. A hemisphere of ice may also be created with a radius of up to 3 feet + 1 foot per cryomancer class level. The ice created by this ability remains for up to 1 minute per cryomancer class level before it shatters and melts into water.
Cryomancer Class Level: 9+
Activation Cost: 5 cryomancer essences

NEW FEATS
Metamagic Feats & Cryomancer Abilities: Metamagic feats do affect cryomancer abilities that require cryomancer essences to be used to activate the cryomancer ability. When a metamagic feat is applied to a cryomancer ability it increases the activation cost of that cryomancer ability by +1 cryomancer essence per spell level that the metamagic feat would raise the level of a spell it was applied to. Applying the effects of a metamagic feat to a cryomancer ability does not increase that ability's activation time.
Example: If maximize spell was applied to the Freezing Blast cryomancer ability then the freezing blast would cost 6 cryomancer essences to use (3 for he base freezing blast and +1 essence for each level that the maximize spell metamagic feat would raise a spell level by).

Split Frost Bolt [General, Cold]
You can split your frost bolt to strike multiple targets
Prerequisite: Frost bolt
Benefit: You may produce a number of frost bolts each round equal to the number of attacks you possess due to a high base attack bonus. Your damage dice is divided up among these additional frost bolts as you desire.
Example: If a cryomancer possesses a +6/+1 Base Attack Bonus they can produce a total of two frost bolts that deal up to 4d6 points of damage total when they activate their frost bolt ability. They can decide that one frost bolt deals 1d6 points of damage while the other deals 3d6 or that both bolts will deal 2d6 points of damage and so on.
Special: This feat may be used in combination with the freezing blast, freezing wind cryomancer abilities.

This class is something I have been working on for a while and could really use some input/opinions on.

I think they get cold immunity to early. Usually classes only grant an immunity to an energy type at 20th level, after starting at 5 resistance at the begining.
